So, I mean, Ive always been friendly toward him, and I thank him for his support, John said. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious. It made me laugh, John added of the Kim Jong Un nickname.As Variety noted, in his 2022 memoir, Trumps former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote that the former president had to explain the reference to Kim Jong Un and even autographed a copy of an Elton John CD for the North Korean dictator.Of course he hasnt heard of me, Kim Jong Un. Id be very surprised if he had, John told the outlet. Ive never toured North Korea, and I have no intention of doing so. But, I thought it was a light moment, and it was fun.During a post-screening Q&A on Saturday night, John again commented on U.S. politics. While he didnt explicitly mention either Trump or Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, the Tiny Dancer singer said that Kindness will always win out thats what I hope for the American election in November. Despite being thankful for Trumps support, John was one of many artists who opposed the Trump campaigns use of their music during his 2016 White House run.According to Variety, the singer attempted to clarify his comments about the former president on Sunday, telling the outlet, I dont go on stage and say to people, You must vote for the Republicans, you must vote for the Democrats. Its none of my business how they vote.There is a danger, as Dick Cheney said the other day, he continued, likely referring to the former vice presidents recent announcement that he would be voting for Harris in November. In his statement, Cheney noted the unprecedented threat Trump poses to the country. America is in a very volatile position. And its a country I love, and Ive always loved, and Im so thankful that it made me who I am, said John, who accepted the National Humanities Medal from President Joe Biden in 2022. The singer neither explicitly endorsed nor condemned either Trump or Harris, saying instead, I just want people to vote for things that are just, things that are important to people: the right to choose, the right to be who you are, and not let anybody else tell you who to be. And that goes all the way up to the Supreme Court.I just hope that people make the right decision to see what the future is going to be, John added. Is it going to be fire and brimstone or are we going to have a much calmer, a much safer place? People can vote for who they like, but as far as Im concerned, I love love. And Im a loving person, and I want that to come back to America. I feel its been lost in the last 12 years.
